Investigation of 24 Slots Stator Core of 0.5 HP Induction Motor and Its Performance Evaluation

In this paper, we have investigated a new prototype of 24 slots stator core for 0.5hp induction motor with reduced slots to predict wherever the maximum localized flux distribution and localized power loss to be occurred. In order to evaluate the performance of this new prototype, we measured localized flux distribution in various places using search coils and also measured localized power losses using thermistor in various places of the stator core. The comparison results within 1.0T, 1.5T and 1.8T revealed that the localized flux distribution increases 39.06% from outer region to the inner region of the stator core and simultaneously power loss also increases 40% where the maximum flux distribution found compared to the outer regions of the stator core.
